History

Education — Our resident didactics are in a "Hybrid” format: We believe that all residents do not learn the same way. Therefore, we have adopted a "hybrid" learning format whereby multiple different teaching modalities are employed including: Traditional lecture format Interactive audience-response system based presentations Case conferences Simulation Skills workshops Flipped classroom methodologies

Research — Research funding at NJMS has doubled since 1996. During fiscal year 2004, funding reached an unprecedented $103.9 million - a 17% increase over the previous year. This funding is coupled with an impressive list of groundbreaking discoveries by a world-class cadre of researchers.

Patient Care — In addition to employing state-of-the-art treatment tools and innovations, clinical care at NJMS is provided in a variety of in- and out-patient settings. These facilities offer patients unparalleled care in convenient and welcoming environments.

Community Outreach — In addition to providing vital healthcare information and services to the community through neighborhood outreach programs and health centers, NJMS continues to expand and support initiatives that provide career opportunities and help our neighbors achieve personal success. Newark is a significantly underserved area with significant socio-economic challenges. To be effective in the care of our ED patients we need to understand them and the resources available (or not available) to them. Residents have extensive exposure to the circumstances in which our patients reside and seek healthcare. For example, during our community rotation residents work with an inter-disciplinary team including students (health-related professions, medicine, nursing and public health), nurses, nurse practitioners and community health workers, with supervision from EM faculty involved in Community/Urban Health. Residents are introduced to the complex problems of health care delivery to marginalized and underserved populations, along with affording them an opportunity to improve their skills in cultural competency, community empowerment and interdisciplinary communication.

 ==History==
-The nation's best medical schools are known for providing the highest quality medical education, research, patient services and community outreach. At New Jersey Medical School, these priorities are combined with a commitment to constant innovation and progress as we keep our mission, vision and values in mind.
+'''Education''' — Our  resident didactics are in a "Hybrid” format: We believe that all residents do not learn the same way. Therefore, we have adopted a "hybrid" learning format whereby multiple different teaching modalities are employed including:
+Traditional lecture format
+Interactive audience-response system based presentations
+Case conferences
+Simulation
+Skills workshops
+Flipped classroom methodologies
-'''Education''' — The preclinical curriculum employs many different teaching modalities including lecture and small group activities such as team based learning (TBL) to provide our students with an important fund of knowledge. Early exposure to clinical medicine is gained through a Physicians Core Program that spans the first two years. Medical interviewing, physical examination, ethics and communication skills are some of the topics covered in the Core Program. Considerable emphasis is placed on developing professionalism and humanism traits as well as a commitment to community and cultural diversity throughout the four years of medical school.
+'''Research''' — Research funding at NJMS has doubled since 1996. During fiscal year 2004, funding reached an unprecedented $103.9 million - a 17% increase over the previous year. This funding is coupled with an impressive list of groundbreaking discoveries by a world-class cadre of researchers.

-'''Patient Care''' — In addition to employing state-of-the-art treatment tools and innovations, clinical care at NJMS is provided in a variety of in- and out-patient settings. These facilities offer patients unparalleled care in convenient and welcoming environments. At the same time, a focus on specialty areas of medicine — including infectious diseases, cardiovascular science, neurological and visual sciences, cancer and trauma — ensures that we are meeting a wide range of patient needs.
+'''Community Outreach''' — In addition to providing vital healthcare information and services to the community through neighborhood outreach programs and health centers, NJMS continues to expand and support initiatives that provide career opportunities and help our neighbors achieve personal success.  Newark is a significantly underserved area with significant socio-economic challenges.  To be effective in the care of our ED patients we need to understand them and the resources available (or not available) to them.   Residents have extensive exposure to the circumstances in which our patients reside and seek healthcare. For example, during our community rotation residents work with an inter-disciplinary team including students (health-related professions, medicine, nursing and public health), nurses, nurse practitioners and community health workers, with supervision from EM faculty involved in Community/Urban Health.  Residents are introduced to the complex problems of health care delivery to marginalized and underserved populations, along with affording them an opportunity to improve their skills in cultural competency, community empowerment and interdisciplinary communication.
-'''Community Outreach''' — Our longstanding ties to the community are being strengthened by a variety of support programs. In addition to providing vital healthcare information and services to the community through neighborhood outreach programs and health centers, NJMS continues to expand and support initiatives that provide career opportunities and help our neighbors achieve personal success.
